Happy Monday!!! It’s another installment of MANICure Monday! This week I found a really cute Christmas design while on YouTube. All of the ones I’ve been finding on Pinterest lately seem to be out of my league lately…LOL Since I’m still on a “no-buy” of polish until after Christmas, I hit up my mom’s stash. For my base coat I used LA Colors polish in “berry red”. I love the color but even after 3 coats it was still a bit transparent. *sigh*
Since my ring finger broke last week I decided to use my pointer finger to recreate Santa’s coat. I painted a white stripe down the middle then the tips. I took a fine brush to create the “belt” with black and then a black square was added for the belt buckle. I wanted to use silver but forgot to add it and had to improvise with a black sharpie (don’t judge me…LOL). Hope you all enjoy today’s mani!
Join in the fun by linking up with Mimi from Lipgloss and Binky and Lynn from LALynnsShoppe for their Manicure Monday!
